Ahh, yes. My question was just answered by the Washington Post earlier today along with another question, “Why isn’t Alzner on the big team yet?” Sad to see Perreault go back to Hershey, but he’s not really putting up much offense and his size and inexperience is a defensive liability…more seasoning required.

His salary is off the books for this year, thus today’s recall of Karl Alzner. His salary does not count against the cap, but Washington still has to pay his salary.

However, that is for this year only. We jump back into the same problem next year with one major difference. The no movement clause expires, so they can do what they want without his approval.

At what point does Nylander’s cap hit come off the books? That’s the only event that matters in this whole affair. I’ve heard it will happen if he is signed by a KHL club or if the Caps release him/buy him out…TL needs to raid his piggy bank.
